The result is- that talc must be paid on 'draperies, blinds, linoleum, carpets, rugs, heaters, stoves, refrigeratote, light fixtures., • and so on when; they !are in- cluded in the sale price of a house .. . t * $ AND IT IS THE CHAP WHO buys the house who must val- ue this "tangible personal pro- perty" and send in the sales tax due . How does the government know whether you do or not? Well the real es- tate men must file a list monthly of the purchasers of property through them, along with a list of "tangible person- al property" in each case . and they must send in the val- ue on each as figured out by the purchaser .. . * * :u COMPLICATED? WELL THE real estate men seem to feel it is unfair ... •and there may be a court case over it .. . * * * WHAT WE CAN'T ACCEPT with any pleasure is the idea that real estate brokers in Toronto can persuade the gov- ernment that they should not be considered vendors ... -and so they have been considered to • be "engaged to .search for a purchaser" . a neat phr- ase, isn't .it .. . * * * TIDE THING IS, IF REAL estate brokers in the city of Toronto can get themselves .off the hook, insofar as collecting tax goes . does this apply to all real estate brokers in the province? If not, why not? sand if it does, why should not the drugstores get to gath- er and .ask for a similar exemp- tion and • get it? or the hair- dressers? or the printers, for that smatter ..
